When Becky Pepper-Jackson started middle school, she wanted to join her school's track and field team. Like many girls her age, she was excited to make new friends and cultivate a passion for a sport. But unlike the other girls on her school's track and field team, Pepper-Jackson is trans. And because she lives in West Virginia, a state which has banned transgender girls from participating in public school sports, Pepper-Jackson was excluded from what for her classmates is a normal childhood experience. Pepper-Jackson sued, and her case is now before the conservative-majority Supreme Court — which, after oral arguments Tuesday, appears likely to uphold similar laws throughout the country. "The states have attempted to justify these things in terms of some sort of alleged sex-based athletic advantage," says Karen L. Loewy of the LGBTQ legal advocacy organization Lambda Legal. "It's really about whether the court is going to uphold trans people's equal opportunity in all aspects of public life."

Trump's immigration enforcement surge continues to rock Minnesota, just a week after the ICE shooting of Renee Good, a mother of three and U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that the number of federal agents now in Minneapolis and Saint Paul outstrips the 10 largest Twin Cities metro police departments combined. "We don't want ICE in our neighborhoods. They are violent, they are creating chaos and terrorizing our immigrant neighbors, and they are not keeping anyone safe," says vice president of the Saint Paul City Council, Hwa Jeong Kim, who comments on the city's new lawsuit against the Trump administration, the loss of temporary protected status for thousands of Somali immigrants in the United States, plans for a general strike in Minneapolis and more.

We look at All the Walls Came Down, a new short documentary directed by filmmaker Ondi Timoner that looks back at the devastating 2025 fires in Los Angeles, which destroyed Timoner's home and left the historically Black community of Altadena in ruins. The film, which has been shortlisted for an Academy Award, follows community organizer Heavenly Hughes as residents confront the aftermath of the fires and organize to rebuild their town.
"We feel like we're being forced out because of this fire and not really getting the support that we need from our elected officials to be sure to preserve and protect our Black and Brown community," says Hughes.
Timoner says Southern California Edison, which has taken responsibility for the Eaton Fire, has refused to tap its emergency funds. The utility company needs to "bridge families over so that they're not pushed off their generational land," Timoner says. "It's an urgent situation in our town."

Minnesota state investigators say the FBI is blocking them from investigating the ICE shooting of Renee Good, a mother of three and award-winning poet who was killed in her car on January 7. The federal government's claims of immunity for the ICE officer — identified as Iraq War veteran Jonathan Ross — go against precedent, as does its refusal to cooperate with state authorities, says Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is demanding a local and state-led investigation into Good's homicide and an end to the Trump administration's "smear tactics" against Good. "This is Third Reich stuff," adds Ellison, decrying the escalation in aggressive tactics employed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis and throughout the country. "This is an unprecedented attack on American institutions."

 Jim Watson/AFP via GettySpaceX is suing regulators in California, alleging that officials rejected a request to carry out more rocket launches due to bias against the political views of CEO Elon Musk.
The suit against the California Coastal Commission, filed Tuesday, comes after the state agency declined a request last Thursday from the U.S. Space Force to allow SpaceX to launch up to 50 rockets annually from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
"The Commissioners expressly stated that this decision was not based on concerns about impacts to coastal resources, but instead on the political views held by SpaceX's largest shareholder and CEO, Elon Musk," the lawsuit claims, adding that the "public hearing record indisputably shows overt, and shocking, political bias."
